Blue, In regards to your post earlier about what speed can emergency services vehicles travel through roadworks (even though we have discussed this personally thought i would post here for others!!. I will use school crossings as an example because they are are similar to roadworks. i was informed recently by a policeman who came to school for road traffic training for my students that emergency service vehicles travelling P1 (lights and sirens) are exempt from all standard road laws except driving with undue care. so watch out because the little kiddies with the lollipops are trained (and do) write down number plates and all other relevant details of people not driving properly through crossings and forward onto police.
This is really a catch 22 situation as speeding through a school crossing is generally driving with undue care.
And also someone may be able to correct me, but i believe that standard SOP's instruct MFS/CFS drivers to adhere where possible to speed limiting??
So let me know if any of these details are wrong anyone, but thats what ive been told by police.
